White on Black Plastic Mulch is primarily used for a "cooling" effect. The white surface is laid up to reflect heat away while the black surface is laid down to prevent weed growth. Great for lettuce, cauliflower, and broccoli.
Increase yield and crop success with 1.0 mil White on Black Plastic Mulch. One of the primary factors that controls plant growth is light; and, in general, the more light the better. Better growth and higher yields are the result. Studies by Penn State University show boosts in crop developments up to 35%! With the white reflective mulch, light levels in the plant canopy are three times higher than with bare soil. White mulch has dual properties: light reflection and weed control since a layer of white is co-extruded over the black. Yet this embossed, high density mulch is only 1.0 mil thick. It is even tough enough to hold up under foot traffic during the harvest season.
In northern states where the season is short, White on Black mulch is a vital link in improving yields by increasing the amount of light available to the plants. In more southerly states where a summer crop is planted, White on Black mulch deflects heat and keeps soils cooler.
Please note: The white part tends to have a gray hue due to the black being on the opposite side, it is not a pure white color.

Additional Information
Advantages of using White on Black Mulch:With still limited experience, the film performed very well for me growing lettuces extended further into summer this year. It even helps keep tomatoes setting fruit in extreme upper 90's and 100F temps, I believe. Durable and easy weed , evaporation and heat control. Fifth star reserved for thicker product with extended life.
Before using it the first time, I searched the internet to see how to install it. Once I have it installed it looks like it was done with a machine except the row might be a little crocked. Soil should be a little moist not dried out so the plastic stretches over the soil and the soil gives a little. If the soil is dry it will not give. Using this, manure with organic matter and using a drip line system has produced some of the best collard greens and red russian kale my neighbor man ever grew.
Seem to be holding up well so far, I bought 30 and filled them all up and have moved them several times with no issues. Will be buying more.
The product came quickly, the trays work great together and there have been no issues.
Great product for the price. Good quality and will last a few years. The best place I've found to buy pots.
This test was easy and convenient. The results came back quickly. I found out I was very low in nitrogen. Glad I found that out before I planted tomatoes and peppers.
My neighbor saw how great my fabric was instead of the stuff from big box stores. He wanted me to order for him and that is this order. He is excited to get it in.
Work great for what we needed. Nice quality trays!
Just what I would expect for cardboard beer boxes. Get the job done. Will buy again.
We've used these 6" pots two years to pot bare=root seedlings to give to school children. They work great for that purpose. Easy to transport. Allow seedlings to bud out before taking to schools. Easy to explain to kids how to plant the trees/shrubs without having to remove them from the pots. Smaller pots don't provide enough room inside to contain the roots of the seedlings.
They look great
These work GREAT in holding down your weed fabric! Easy to install and I’ve even used these in the garden to secure plant trellis strings.
Have ordered custom shade cloth from Growers Solution in the past and have been satisfied both times. I would order again.
